[3:59] sign up at the back of the room if you'd like to come up and uh speak to the planning commission about the various

[4:05] issues we have if you can specify um which item on the agenda you have as

[4:10] well that would be very helpful uh our first item is Divine Encounter

[4:16] Church uh this is a public hearing to consider the application of Divine Encounter Church for a conditional use

[4:23] permit to allow a religious institution use in the C3 General Commercial

[4:28] District located at 17685 Juniper Path and I'm going to call up

[4:34] our applicant first Pastor Zapora Bagono

[4:41] please come forward thank you so much for being here and if

[4:47] you can state your name for the record and then go ahead and give us your comments okay thank you my name is

[4:54] Pastor Zippora Bugonko and on behalf of Divine Encounter Church we'd like to

[4:59] present our request uh which will primarily be uh um weekly

[5:06] Sunday services and mid midweek Bible studies and daily prayer in addition to

[5:13] our core activities we'll also hold other church related activities like

[5:18] special events and workshops and occasionally we'll do outreach activities to our community

[5:26] thank you

[5:35] please go ahead thank you yes good evening chair commission members so the request in front of you tonight is a

[5:42] conditional use permit it's located in an existing building lo uh west of

[5:47] Kenwood Trail off of Juniper Pass the property is zone C3 which is our general

[5:53] commercial district the request for conditional use permit

[5:58] is to allow a religious institution in a C3 zone building so as the applicant

[6:03] stated the church is proposed to occupy about 2385 square feet of the existing uh 36,623

[6:12] ft building so you can kind of see in the floor plan above in the shaded area

[6:19] that would be the part that the church would occupy the existing site includes 154 parking spaces and the church is

[6:26] anticipating approximately 50 attendees for its weekly Sunday uh services so the

[6:32] parking requirements in city code would be on a ratio of one parking space for three seats of design capacity of the

[6:39] assembly hall which would then require about 17 parking spaces so staff believes that the existing parking on

[6:45] site is sufficient for the proposed use and there are no changes proposed to the exterior of the building um no

[6:52] expansions at this time and they're not planning to change the appearance or anything from the exterior um and

[6:57] actually I don't think they're planning to do any interior remodel at this time either but if there would be they would have to go through the proper building

[7:03] code and um permit requirements for that so at this time staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit

[7:09] with the five stipulations that are listed in your packet and the findings of fact that were included for your review thank you thank you very much

[7:18] uh this is a public hearing is there anyone that wishes to speak on uh this issue with the Divine Encounter Church

[7:30] madam Chair I'd move to close the public hearing second

[7:35] we have a motion and a second all those in favor signify by saying I i i

[7:42] the public hearing is now closed uh next up would be commissioner's

[7:48] questions for this um request

[7:54] madam Chair please go ahead commissioner Trafice my my question is just about the signage i

[8:00] wasn't entirely clear what it would look like but what what will the signage look like when the church is in the building

[8:08] i will probably defer this to the applicant as at this time no signage has been included with the request and staff

[8:14] is not approving any signage at this time they would just have to comply with any kind of requirements in our zoning

[8:19] code um but the applicant may have additional information or provide what they're thinking

[8:26] pastor Bongo could you answer that question for us please

[8:37] we will um go along with whatever is proposed by the owner concerning the

[8:44] sign so whatever they ask us to do is what we'll we will give it to them whatever they approve is what we will go

[8:50] by yeah thank you very much

[8:56] there are no other questions and I think we're ready for a motion make a motion to recommend to city

[9:03] council approval of the conditional use permit for a religious institution to be

[9:08] located at 17685 Juniper Path subject to the five stipulations listed on the June

[9:15] 16 2025 planning report as a uh

[9:21] and adopt the findings of fact second we'll second that

[9:27] thank you um Miss Action will you please take a role trafice i palooa i zimmer i

[9:36] ike hi sweeney i swanson i tinsley hi

[9:44] thank you very much um with that just so you're aware um the

[9:51] this item will appear before the July 7th city council meeting

[9:57] thank you uh our next item

[10:04] on my cheaters to read a public hearing to consider the application of Lauron DB

[10:10] conink for a conditional use permit to allow a commercial recreational facility in the

[10:16] OP office park district located at 213000 Juniper Way

[10:24] and I'd like to ask the applicant to come forth

[10:32] thank you so much can you please identify yourself for the record and then go ahead and give us your comments

[10:37] um yeah my name is Lauren Donic um we want to open Pickle in the Mill indoor

[10:43] pickle ball facility we currently have a facility in Brooklyn Park and one in Woodbury and uh would like to open one

[10:51] in uh Lakeville facility will have 15 indoor courts uh it be open 24/7 uh

[10:59] people will receive a pin code to enter the facility and uh play pickle ball

[11:07] thank you very much thank you

[11:15] thank you so much yeah thank you all right so this request is located on the

[11:21] north side of County Road 70 in the recently approved Lakeville 35 Logistics

[11:26] Center building currently under construction the zoning of the property is Office

[11:32] Park which is our OP district and within this district the conditional

[11:38] use permit is to allow a recreational facility within that OP office park district as mentioned the applicant has

[11:45] stated that they would like to operate a pickle ball facility called Pickle in the Middle so they are looking at 42,000

[11:51] square feet of the 190,000 foot building um in addition to the pickle ball courts

[11:57] there would also be storage lockers and just like a lobby check-in and then a small meeting room so the there would be

[12:04] no food or beverage and no alcohol or anything like that on on the property or served within the um inside the building

[12:10] so it's just as he mentioned you get a digit four-digit code before your time slot and you just kind of go in there's

[12:16] no on-site staff there is a manager that would kind of uh that shows up every once in a while but not full-time staff

[12:23] so parking is primarily provided on the west side of the building and on the

[12:29] south side and where semi-truck traffic you're going to see more along the north side um entering over here so the

[12:36] pedestrian and guest parking um the pickle ball user should not be really crossing traffic paths with any kind of

[12:42] semi-truck traffic uh the site is designed for 223 parking spaces and

[12:47] based on the average occupancy of the other facilities and at the peak usage and times they are anticipating about 50

[12:53] to 60 vehicles on site at their peak times so staff does not believe that parking will be an issue uh but the

[13:00] applicant the owners of the property have included um

[13:06] on this site back here here's the building this is the area the pickle ball would be renting the pickle ball

[13:11] space behind it they're kind of showing a proof of parking just in case parking does become an issue on site they have

[13:18] space on there to add additional parking stalls but we are not anticipating this to be an issue

[13:25] the staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit with the two stipulations excuse me listed in your

[13:31] staff report and the findings of fact that was include findings of fact that was included excuse me thank you you

[13:41] this is the public hearing and uh is there anyone that wishes to speak on behalf of this issue or in addition to

[13:48] our presenters

[13:54] seeing none I would move to close the public hearing second

[13:59] all those in favor signify by saying I i uh opposed

[14:06] the public hearing is closed now move to questions from planning

[14:11] commissioners madam chair please go ahead commissioner Swinson if I could have the applicant

[14:18] come up briefly not necessarily in the purview of what

[14:24] planning commission gets to deal with and everything but um having daughters playing volleyball and inside some of the similar facilities like this inside

[14:30] a warehouse and all that just kind of curious what you do for acoustics and trying to kind of keep noise levels

[14:35] manageable um with sporting activity in a warehouse space inside the space um

[14:43] in Lake in Brooklyn Park in Woodbury we don't put anything and we're trying to

[14:48] put uh we're testing right now to put foam sure really hasn't been any issues

[14:59] i have a question it's going to be operated 24/7 as you said your other facilities are as well do you have any

[15:06] issues with that people coming and going at all hours is there uh any instance

[15:11] you know any crime or problems no no uh Brooklyn Park we've been open

[15:16] for two and a half years now and uh it's been pretty self-regulated

[15:23] uh Woodbury we've been open almost a year and that's been really successful

[15:28] too so um the only issue we have sometime people play 20 30 minutes

[15:34] longer u but that we manage with the customers

[15:41] madam Chair please go ahead i was just going to comment too I do appreciate where this facility is located in that

[15:47] building as the was commented on with the truck location on the site this

[15:53] being down on the end certainly seems to make a lot of sense and is a good location for it in this building so

[15:59] uh Madam Chair Commissioner Travis um I noticed in the plans there's a party room so is it acceptable to bring food

[16:07] and drink uh yeah if um in Woodbury Brooklyn Park we have like hockey teams

[16:14] coming soccer teams and they bring the kids order some pizza and then they play

[16:19] pickle ball uh so that's why we usually have uh in those location uh Woodbury we

[16:26] don't have a party room broken Park we have one and it seems that it's easier to to keep it organized clean and not

[16:33] having food in the hallway and the courts thank you

[16:41] any other questions

[16:47] ready for a motion madam Chair Mr swinson move to recommend to city council

[16:54] approval of the conditional use permit for an indoor commercial recreation use in the OP district at 213000 Juniper Way

[17:01] subject to the two stipulations listed in the June 16th 2025 planning report and adopt the findings of that second

[17:10] we have a motion and a second miss Erikson would you please take the role

[17:16] kuza I zimmer I sweeney hi Swanson hi Tinsley hi Travis

[17:24] hi thank you and is it Donig

[17:31] it's not quite right on here but that's okay thank you so much looking forward to a pickle ball facility here in

[17:37] Lakeville [Laughter]

[17:42] and again that uh item would move forward to the July 7th city council

[17:48] meeting thank you uh next on the item next item on the

[17:54] list is uh Crossroads Third Edition a public hearing to consider the application of LFPC Properties LLC for

[18:02] the following located north of 175th Street west of Glacier Way a couple

[18:08] items here a preliminary and final plat of one lot and one outlot to be known as Crossroads East third edition b a

[18:15] conditional use permit to allow a veterinary clinic in the C3 uh general

[18:21] commercial district and I would ask first for um

[18:29] Mr hickox to come forward and give a presentation on this development

[18:36] phil my name is Brady Hickox i'm an architect with Truisha Construction we're out of Wilmer Minnesota um we've

[18:44] been working with Dr shannon and Ben Kenny of Lakeville Family Pet Clinic um

[18:49] for a while on their new facility which is what this project is that we're looking at tonight um they currently

[18:56] operate out of a a strip just a little bit to the southwest of what this

[19:02] property is we're looking at tonight um and the new project will be a new building approximately 9,000 square ft

[19:09] of general practice veterinary care um so people often ask is there boarding

[19:15] there is no plan for boarding here in this facility um so we just want to make that clear um the property itself is not

[19:22] platted that's part of what we're here tonight you know to get approval on that as well and then um the use is a cup so

[19:31] um that'd be the additional approval as well that's all I have thank you thank you

[19:39] Miss Jensen eagerly anticipating your presentation good evening commissioners

[19:44] uh as Mr hickox did state this is a public hearing for a preliminary plat

[19:50] and the conditional use permit uh the plat is to be known as Crossroads East Third Edition

[19:56] um it is as we've mentioned located at 175th and Glacier Way the existing

[20:04] clinic is in this building right here so just a block to the southwest uh the

[20:09] site uh is a remaining outlaw area from the other uh crossroads east developments of Kinderare Subway and

[20:16] Christian Brothers Automotive uh the zoning there is PUB it is part of

[20:21] that crossroads PUD in that area and the underlying zoning uh district is the C3

[20:27] General Commercial District uh this is the preliminary plat uh the

[20:32] veterinary clinic would be located on lot one block one here at the corner uh

[20:37] the remainder of the outlot being platted would just be platted as an outlot um so at the time um that lot

[20:44] were to come forward for development it would need its own preliminary and final plat uh to be platted

[20:51] uh this is the site plan of the building it does have a just under 8,000 square footprint

[20:58] uh but just over 9,000 square foot total there's 48 parking spaces on site uh

[21:04] there is also a fenced uh relief area uh for animals in the back um that are at

[21:11] the clinic for medical attention um there is

[21:18] get my mouse moving the trash enclosure is here in this location um parking is

[21:25] accessed this is an existing uh drive aisle for the for that commercial area

[21:31] so there will be access at this location for the parking in front and on the side

[21:36] of the building otherwise the remainder of the parking stalls will be accessed off this drive aisle uh it's kind of a

[21:42] mirror of the Kinder Care site which has um parking stalls in this location off

[21:47] of that drive aisle so it's a similar setup there this is the landscape plan

[21:53] the city forester has reviewed um did provide some minor comments that the

[21:59] applicant uh is working on those would be to add a couple of additional

[22:04] overstory trees in this area um and along the the fenced area and

[22:09] then some uh landscaping just around the electrical transformer for screening so

[22:15] um though the revised plan will is required to be submitted prior to city council consideration of the project um

[22:22] this is the building elevations as you can see it's a um primarily one story

[22:28] there is a slight second story in part of the building um with a um variety of

[22:34] materials there's multicolor or multi-graay toned brick and stone on the

[22:40] building um there is some uh vertical gray siding as well as some redwood

[22:46] toned uh siding for accent um it does meet our ordinance requirements of 65%

[22:53] grade A materials uh with the remaining materials as grade B

[22:59] um just these are the exteriors uh in black and white the trash enclosure as

[23:04] you can see down here would be the same stone that's uh proposed for the building

[23:09] um and then part of the CUP for the vet clinic there's a the zoning ordinance

[23:15] includes a few uh review criteria and those are uh that the animals are

[23:20] confined indoors and the building is soundproofed um in this case obviously it is a standalone building the kinder

[23:27] next door is about 100 ft away um the relief area will have a solid fence

[23:33] which I presume helps minimize you know dogs barking at things nearby um and

[23:39] those animals will be accompanied by a staff member at all times when they are are outside um that animal carcasses are

[23:46] disposed of properly the the clinic will include um an animal morg which is a a

[23:52] freezer that will hold animal remains until they are disposed of properly by a third party um and then as Mr hickox

[24:00] noted um animal kennels are a permitted use to a a vet clinic but there are no

[24:05] plans to board animals other than those that are receiving medical treatment uh

[24:10] staff does recommend approval of the Crossroads East third edition preliminary plat and conditional use

[24:16] permit subject to the eight stipulations that were included in the planning report and findings of fact were also

[24:22] attached for your consideration and I'll stand for any questions you may have

[24:28] thank you Miss Jensen once again this is a public hearing if we have uh members of the public that

[24:35] wish to make comment please come forward at this time

[24:40] and seeing no one jumping up madam Chair I move to close the public hearing

[24:45] second we have a motion and a second uh all those in favor signify by saying I i

[24:53] and opposed public hearing is now closed

[24:59] and we will take uh questions from planning commissioners

[25:05] and I do have one um and a comment so um

[25:10] Mr g or perhaps the applicant um

[25:17] I was asked the question when you bring the pet in and then you've got a relief area so um the child care place being so

[25:25] close and the kids walking and everything I just want to make sure it's going to be that area designated that

[25:33] gets used for relief yep and actually we do have two um there's a relief area on

[25:40] the front end of the building so that as you do come for your appointment you can have them use that initially and that

[25:46] has fence on two sides it's it's you know intended that they're still on their leash um but that's on the front

[25:53] side near that parking lot I it was kind of that front corner of the parking lot um but then the one in the back that's

[25:59] even closer to the to the kids space um those would be opaque fences that are 8

[26:05] feet high so that would they're not going to see or even know that they're in there so that sounds great just

[26:12] knowing how kids walk yep everywhere they want to go yeah for sure so I

[26:18] appreciate that are there other questions for this applicant

[26:25] madam Chair not really questions more just commentary here so I I remember

[26:30] being up here uh when the initial application came in at the strip mall for the initial location here so um

[26:37] always happy to see businesses in Lakeville uh you know we had business before looking to come and locate here in Lakeville always happy to see

[26:43] businesses expanding and thriving in Lakeville as well and so really excited to see this new facility come to the

[26:48] city i think it's a great thing um to see you expanding into such a nice looking building so appreciate that

[26:55] thank you there are no other comments looks like we're ready for a motion

[27:01] motion to recommend to city council approval of Crossroads East third edition preliminary and and final plat

[27:09] and conditional use permit subject to the eight stipulations listed in the June 11th 2025 planning report and adopt

[27:18] the findings of that second we have a motion and a second miss

[27:23] Ericen will you take the role please zimmer i

[27:29] Sweeney I swinsson I Tinsley I Palooa I

[27:37] thank you so much as stated before uh as this item is moving forward it will be

[27:42] uh up on July 7th for the city council and as Commissioner Swenson said thank

[27:47] you so much for your development and expansion here in Lakeville

[27:57] item number nine this is Heritage Commons 10th edition

[28:04] public hearing to consider the applications of HVP uh V Epic Heritage LLC and SMNPT1

[28:14] LLC for the following preliminary plat for one lot and one outlot to be known as Heritage Commons 10th edition uh B a

[28:23] conditional use permit for two convenience restaurants c planned unit development amendment to add property to

[28:30] the Heritage Commons PUD and D vacation of public drainage and utility easements

[28:37] we have Mr paul and I'm going to guess Tucci uh here uh with 2C development to

[28:44] present madame Chair members of the commission um yes I'm presenting this is there

[28:51] there's a couple of pieces here well I'm going to present for the whole thing we are buying um my partners and I we're

[28:59] going to buy the platted lot so you see in front of you there's a plat a vacation and then a PUD amendment and a

[29:06] CUP i'm kind of the PUB CUP but I'm going to speak for everything um uh Bruce Cheetah

[29:13] is also here bruce is the owner of Lake Marian Collision uh the what we're doing

[29:20] is there's a little triangular piece on the south side of of Mr cheetah's lot uh

[29:25] there's a there's a land swap for lack of a better way to say it happening between Epic and Mr cheetah we're doing

[29:33] some parking for him over on the east side of his lot um that then allows Epic

[29:41] to create the plat which creates lot one which we're going to buy and develop and

[29:48] put in a quickserve uh restaurant and a a coffee uh operator so generally

[29:56] speaking and I know that it's kind of you know it's the shell game not shell game it's a domino game we got have the

[30:02] first domino fall being the plat the second one is the vacation of easements then we jump in um everything in the

[30:09] staff report uh we've worked uh diligently with staff and I will say that I actually worked with staff in

[30:15] another city recently and she does a great job and she hasn't thrown me out so that's a positive too um and we are

[30:23] good with everything that they've put in i will point out we are asking for some

[30:28] uh PUB uh I'll say lenience on parking we are two stalls short of meeting

[30:34] requirement we've talked to our operators we're more than comfortable we've done these two together in three

[30:40] other spots and I can tell you that this is the most parking we've had in these

[30:46] spots so they are very comfortable with it i believe staff is I'll let them speak to that and everything else looks

[30:54] from our chair very good so I'll sit down let staff talk and answer any questions if you have thank you very

[31:01] much for your presentation miss uh if you could please give us a presentation

[31:07] as well thank you chair commission members as Mr tuti uh stated this is

[31:12] kind of a multi-step multi- um lots of requests going in here so

[31:18] hopefully you can stay with me and ask questions at the end so this request is for property located in the northeast

[31:24] corner of Dodd Boulevard and 202nd Street or Kenwood Trail also known as

[31:30] CASA 9 for Dodd Boulevard and CASA 50 uh for Kenwood Trail

[31:35] the property is currently zoned a PUD the planned unit development except for

[31:40] the little red triang or not even a triangle i'm not going to try to guess

[31:46] what shape that is that shape right there within the PUD and the comprehensive plan is guided as

[31:52] commercial so the first step we're kind of looking at is this preliminary plat for a one lot two outlot subdivision to

[31:59] be known as Heritage Commons 10th edition the property overall is about 3.74 gross acres in size um lot one for

[32:07] Chipotle and Starbucks will be about 1.38 acres uh outlot A

[32:13] which is this lot right over here is 2.17 acres and will be used for future

[32:19] development and then outlot B which is just a tiny little sliver over here u

[32:25] which Mr tucci uh mentioned will be combined then and consolidated with Lake

[32:31] Marian Collision Property as a condition of the final plat

[32:36] um the next step is kind of this PUD amendment that they're asking for is to add 0.14 acres into the Heritage Commons

[32:44] PUD so this red mark here will then be part of the Heritage Commons PUD the

[32:50] underlying zoning district of this area though will still remain as that C3 commercial zoning

[32:57] next we're looking at the uses proposed on the property for the convenience restaurants do require conditional use

[33:04] permits so the conditional use permit covers both of those restaurants um

[33:10] access to the property will be off of Heritage Drive that will be the main access point and then there will be a

[33:17] secondary access that will go across outlot A and then connect over to the

[33:22] O'Reilly parcel to the east uh the proposed restaurants are each a single story and they both have drive-thrus uh

[33:30] the both the buildings and the drive-throughs comply with our code requirements for stacking and setbacks

[33:37] uh the site plan identifies 27% of green space on the site which our code

[33:44] requires a minimum of 25% so they exceed that requirement um as Paul mentioned

[33:49] they're asking for some flexibility from parking uh so there are 51 spaces that are required they are proposing 49

[33:57] spaces and as it's like it's set up here as like a shared design system so staff is

[34:05] comfortable with this flexibility requirement due to the off- peak times

[34:10] of the proposed restaurants the applicant's also asking for

[34:15] flexibility from the parking stalls that are to the north here that will benefit Lake Mary and Collision and from this

[34:23] stacking area for the drive-thru both of those encroach into the setbacks um so

[34:29] they are asking for this flexibility to maximize the development potential on the property engineering has reviewed

[34:36] the location of the batuminous in this area and they support the setbacks and

[34:42] the flexibility requirements looking at the grading and landscaping

[34:48] plans the landscaping plan on this prop or this site plan here it shows you a

[34:54] mix of deciduous and ornamental trees and shrubs most of the plantings around

[35:00] the building you're going to see more of the shrubs and smaller plantings and the trees mostly are located between the

[35:06] county roads and the drive-thru areas and this is done on purpose to help minimize the impact from light shining

[35:13] onto um roads and cars and pedestrians onto the county roads

[35:19] the forester has reviewed this plan and supports the landscaping as proposed

[35:24] um the grading and drainage plan shown in the northern or to the left of the

[35:29] page here um they're showing one privately owned and maintained underground storm water infiltration

[35:35] system on the site which is kind of hard to see which would be right here um the

[35:41] gradient drainage and erosion control plans have been submitted with the preliminary plat engineering has

[35:47] reviewed those plans and is in support and recommends approval of those plans

[35:53] uh at this level with the recommendation and any stipulations listed in their engineering report the final plans will

[35:59] then be reviewed again at the next stage

[36:05] the building elevations do comply with our exterior building material requirements you will see that there is

[36:12] a stripe proposed in both of the buildings like an accent stripe this is

[36:18] a design element of the Heritage Commons PUB and you'll see that stripe in all

[36:23] the buildings within that PUD um you are noticing some signage on these buildings

[36:28] here but we are not approving the signage at this time that would be done by building permit and they would just

[36:33] have to comply with the uh signage requirements of the Heritage Commons PUD

[36:39] and then the final request of this is kind of cleaning up some existing

[36:44] um DNU easements that were already on the property so there's an existing perimeter DNU easement on an outlot A

[36:51] from Heritage Common sixth edition so that those easements will be vacated as

[36:56] part of this request with the plat and then with the final plat all required perimeter easements or any other um

[37:02] easements that are required from the city will be dedicated on that final plat

[37:08] the staff is recommending approval of all the requests in front of you that include the preliminary plat vacation of

[37:14] easements planned unit development amendment and conditional use permit with the 10 stipulations listed in your

[37:19] staff report and now there are two findings of fact that were presented to you the one that was included with your

[37:25] packet was the conditional use permit and I inadvertently forgot to include the PUD amendment findings of fact um

[37:32] they're very similar with the findings though that you'll see so we were recommending approval of both of those to be included so any questions for

[37:38] staff perfect thank you

[37:46] uh same standard operating procedures as a public hearing is there anyone that wishes to speak

[37:54] and not seeing anyone move to close the public hearing second we have a motion and a second all

[38:02] those in favor of closing the public hearing please say I i i hi the public

[38:08] hearing is now closed um questions from and comments from

[38:14] planning commissioners i know I have one about Could someone

[38:20] walk us through the stacking and how the restaurant works with the diagram

[38:36] just um I'll I'll start on the building

[38:44] that's more northerly that's going to be the quickserve restaurant but I will

[38:49] tell you uh as mentioned uh it's Chipotle and it's

[38:56] yes it's a drive-thru lane but it's not a drive-thru lane in it's pickup lane

[39:02] you You don't pull in and say "I want a burrito bowl with this this and this." into an order board it's all digital uh

[39:10] you you order online and you get a notice uh that says you'll be ready in

[39:16] 15 minutes you can go park if you're there you can wait for it they'll call you you've paid for it you run through

[39:22] and you pick it up they move through quickly uh the other operator coffee uh

[39:28] as mentioned is Starbucks and theirs is a little different they uh they walk

[39:34] they they're traditional come through uh order and queue the queuing that we have

[39:41] i'm trying to count them as I'm standing here i think we have 14 cars in that queue if I remember right um stacked in

[39:49] in the queuing stack and and that is uh

[39:54] uh it's a lot but as we've all seen there's times where they might have 14

[39:59] 15 cars um I think as we talked about the crossover of times when they are the

[40:06] busiest the other use isn't going to be open uh operating hours of the restaurant are uh 10:45

[40:14] uh in the morning until 10 at night so by that time the coffee will start to

[40:20] settle down from their morning peak they will have other peaks you know other tanches through the day that are higher

[40:27] but it should move uh rather well in both instances we've we've made a

[40:33] conscious effort to keep the the entrance of the one and the exit of the

[40:39] other have some separation in there so you don't have too many conflicts but

[40:44] again uh the the Chipotle you're moving through there quick and if you're

[40:50] waiting even if you come up to the window and for some reason it said you were ready and you're not they're going

[40:55] to send you around they'll have uh spots labeled in front that are for mobile

[41:00] order pickup so they'll tell you go to a mobile order pickup and we'll walk it out to you okay

[41:07] thank you other comments or questions madam chair Mr commissioner Kuza um I am

[41:16] comfortable with the flexibility on the parking given the kind of ample stacking

[41:21] space i appreciate um the amount of space given the experience we've had

[41:28] with other uh fast casual restaurants and coffee locations in the city where

[41:34] it it does kind of at times overflow a little bit um but I think this is a

[41:40] well-designed project i think it's a great location for for them and um happy

[41:46] with that the amount of space there thank you

[41:52] chair Commissioner Swinsson you happen to have your civil engineer with you here tonight no not a problem i might

[41:59] put our engineer on the spot briefly then i play one every once in a while so I'll try my best so I was just uh I'm a

[42:07] water resource engineer by trade just commenting on the underground storage facility um that you have in in this

[42:14] that it's a little different than a lot of the features and facilities we see um in Lakeville where we typically have

[42:20] I'll say a surface water feature or surface infiltration feature um can you maybe comment on the wiser why we went

[42:26] this route um well I think you may not like the answer it is it was the

[42:33] economics of the deal um it was it was more uh it worked better for us to do this

[42:40] and frankly it it left the residual lot

[42:46] which is outlot a a little bit easier to develop now when they if somebody takes

[42:51] that whole lot at once they may put something there but for us it was it was

[42:58] kind of twofold but economics played a big part of it so the way I like to think about it is in order to get what

[43:05] you wanted on the site you needed the space and in order to have fit everything into that piece underground

[43:12] was where you needed to go yeah yeah it it's you know I always when people for

[43:17] 38 years people ask "What do I do?" And I say "I solve math problems." But you got to come up with different answers

[43:23] for different people and that was the right answer for everybody here i might put our city engineer on the

[43:29] spot do we have any of these facilities nearby yeah just to add to that from

[43:34] previous Heritage Commons editions we do have underground storage facilities to

[43:40] the east of this property and the soils are conductive for infiltration in this area

[43:46] thank you if I may continue please certainly um also just want to say um

[43:54] I'm comfortable with the way the parking lays out i love the the different uses and their timing effects i like coming

[44:00] up or having things that come before us that take advantage of those timing effects to allow I'll say a smaller

[44:06] parking area to function and serve the needs of Bolt so I think this is a good thing appreciate these types of businesses being here um and looking

[44:13] this way also want to comment that this is a a fairly visible corner in our community i think a lot of people have

[44:19] been wondering for a long time where this was going to go also want to acknowledge the existing owner of Lake Marian out there as well being a part of

[44:25] this um and making this all come together um knowing that there's some

[44:31] kind of complicated property lines out here that made this a little tricky um to come together so grateful for your

[44:36] participation in this as well just want to acknowledge that and with that I'm supportive of this item and I will be

[44:42] voting in favor of it thank you we have other comments

[44:47] uh Madam Chair Mr travis uh my my question is about the access from this

[44:54] area to Idelic um what does that look like in terms of O'Reilly uh are cars

[45:02] just going to be coming through that parking lot or is there a dedicated

[45:07] space for these cars to move through that parking lot and I'm going to turn a

[45:12] little bit and the owner's rep might want to answer this but there is um

[45:17] there's an easement in place today on the O'Reilly lot as I remember it in the

[45:24] there's a declaration of record i think I'm saying that right you see shaking his head yes um so that that driveway

[45:32] will be a continuation of that easement um I think the the question is are

[45:40] people going to be barreling through there and uh I would I would say that as

[45:46] a group the operators whether it's our lot the O'Reilly lot or whatever Epic

[45:52] ends up controlling will work together to make sure that we don't have that is

[45:57] it a speed bump system to be determined but I think um

[46:04] um that can be handled and people will get used to it because the nobody wants

[46:12] to see that happen but could it happen absolutely and and we'll work together to make sure that we have a safe

[46:18] environment for everybody thank you thank you that's great to hear working

[46:24] together and some flexibility

[46:29] if there are no other comments then I think we're ready for a motion madam Chair Commissioner Swinsson move to

[46:35] recommend a city council approval of the Heritage Commons 10th edition preliminary plat PUD amendment

[46:41] conditional use permit and easement vacation subject to the 10 stipulations listed in the June 16th 2025 planning

[46:49] report and adopt the two bindings of fact second we have a motion and a

[46:55] second uh Miss Ericson will you please take the role i Swaney I swenson I Tinsley I trafice I

[47:05] kuza I zimmer I with that I wanted to let the applicant

[47:12] know uh things will be moving forward to the July 7th uh city council meeting and we thank you very much for working

[47:19] together on this kind of tricky site as Commissioner Swenson noted and appreciate your development here in

[47:24] Lakeville

[47:30] yes

[47:38] everything has to be underground and then when Tower Plus came in and did above everybody said that's okay

[47:46] but yeah that's why he's doing underground but there's no space for it thank you

[47:54] uh next item is staff notices and I think we already went through those unless you have something to add um do

[48:01] note that the next planning commission meeting will be July 17th and uh with that commission is adjourned

[48:38] i'm
